Notes
1. If you have an unusual pan size and would like to figure out its capacity, measure the amount of water it takes to fill the pan.
2. Compare that measurement to the volumes in our chart (or the cake pan size listed in your recipe) to determine how much batter you’ll need.
3. To ensure a cake rises evenly, you should only fill your pans to the half-way mark.
4. The baking time may change as well, so it is imperative that you keep a watchful eye on your cake, and check for doneness using your preferred method.
5. It’s always better to have a little extra batter, rather than not enough. Once you’ve filled the pans half-full, use any remaining batter to bake a few cupcakes.
